Abstract

An organic light-emitting component is specified, comprising a translucent substrate ( 1 ), on which a translucent electrode ( 3 ) is arranged, comprising on the translucent electrode ( 3 ) an organic functional layer stack comprising organic functional layers having at least one organic light-emitting layer ( 5 ) and comprising a further electrode ( 7 ), wherein the at least one organic light-emitting layer ( 5 ) comprises emitter molecules having an anisotropic molecular structure which are oriented anisotropically, and wherein all the organic light-emitting layers ( 5, 51, 52, 53 ) of the organic light-emitting component are at a distance of greater than or equal to 20 nm and less than or equal to 100 nm from the further electrode ( 7 ).
